BROCOLI, METHI SPROUTS RICE

Hi Viewers, after a long long time, I am back to the blogging and posting recipes.  This recipe is a price winning recipe in which I took part and really happy to share with you all.  This has got a very special ingredient i.e. Methi sprouts which is very good for health and got various medicinal values.

The main key ingredients were Sprouts, Broccoli, Yoghurt.  Normally everyone will use moong, matki etc.  Since every single person is very health conscious now a days, I thought of going for methi sprouts and the result is here.

Since I could not take out the photograph individually, I am posting the same photographs in all the three recipes i.e. Methi Sprouts, broccoli, yoghurt soup, Broccoli, Methi sprouts rice and Methi sprouts broccoli paratha.
